Volle Synchronisation von WP8 mit Outlook
Ich erwarte das ich Outlook direkt mit WP8 synchronisieren kann!!!
Bei WM 6.5 geht es doch...
Ich finde das mit dem Outlook Connector absoluten Schwachsinn, es findet gar keine Synchronisierung statt.9 votes -
Enable High Quality Profile Picture Syncing For Contacts
Windows Phone Syncs a low quality profile picture and saves this low quality picture into the contact card. This is evident when Called ID showsup.

age filter
Add the "maxemailagefilter" property (maximum age of email messages synced) to the WP8 Exchange ActiveSync policy list. Without it my IT company won't support the Windows 8 phone platform.

Please make Windows Phone 3.0 compatible with OS X 10.6
Unless there is a particular feature in OS X Lion and above that Windows Phone 3.0 needs, please make it compatible for OS X Snow Leopard (10.6). I don't want to buy a new OS just to sync my phone. (I also cannot upgrade my OS to 10.7 because my MacBook is so old.

Please provide an option to syncronize contacts, calendars, tasks, notes, etc. directly between Microsoft Office Outlook and Windows Phone.
I'm not asking you to replace the existing method of syncing this data in the cloud via a Windows Live account; this option just needs to be complemented with an offline option for syncing this data with Outlook.
This type of data is personal: Outlook contact files in particular can contain a full spectrum of personal information, from phone numbers and addresses to birthdays, anniversaries and names of family members. I'm not comfortable with sending this information to the Internet, regardless of how convenient it is and no matter how safe and secure it's supposed to be. It's not even…

Syncing of subfolders in Contacts is done by all other platform. Microsoft outlok mobile should be able to do it the way the desktop version does. It is a must have.

There are a lot of complaints that WP8 have no sync with outlook through bluetooth or usb. Many people, like myself, don't like to go through the Cloud/skyware. I have had several Nokia Communicators with Bluetooth sync which was outstanding in many ways. For two years I have had HTC and solve the syncronisation with a program called Missing Sync. But they don't support WP8. You will have a better marketposition in the future when Nokia and Microsoft solved this for us users big and frustrating problem. I like my new Lumia 920 very much and is proud to show…

Windows Phones should have far better connectivity with Ford Sync, considering both are a Microsoft product.
Applink for MyFord Touch. I would like to see a much improved relationship between my Windows Phone and my Ford Sync. I think it only natural considering that both are a product of Microsoft. As it stands, Android and iOS are seriously outpacing Microsoft and I think hurting its ability to compete in the mobile market.

Ability to read/send SMS/MMS from pc (via Companion app)
This is the killer feature of Nokia PC Suite.
Access text messages from PC would help us organize our messages easier. We can already manage our contacts over Windows Live websites, but cannot read and send SMS. Adding this feature would be very nice for the Windows ecosystem.8 votes -
Windows Mobile Device Center MUST support Windows 7 64bit
It is totally unfair to force everyone to use hotmail to connect and sync with Outlook. This is the #1 reason windows phones suck.

Categories assigned to contacts in Outlook should translate to groups in Windows Phone
Please give me a better way to access a few thousand contacts besides alphabetically.

Shake to refresh or sync data for anything (calendars, mail, notifications, etc)
Within the calendars screen, add option (that can be chosen to be turned off) for shaking to manually sync the data. This should also work within the email screen (in addition to current setup/method), or any screen that normally syncs data in the background. Give us an option to manually sync any data with a shake of the phone or quick button choice.
